This was in 1864, when "Sir Edward
was giving out all over London that !

lisbed her Appeal to the Justice and
Charity Of The English People" which
brought her little money, though IN
Sufficient even to pay her debts. She
writes that "she hopes soon to hnve a

It is alleged on Lord Lytton's side that
he acted bona fde, believing that his

here, of course, are that he instigated
q vile conspiracy. Lady Lytton's ac-
count of the affair is given at length.
Sir Edward was Colonial Secretary un-
der Lord Derby; and the hubbub
raised about his wife's incarceration
was so great that she had to be set at

or in the melancholy waste of waters
within the Antartic Circle. The Baron
expects to be absent year and half
on his expedition. during which he will
pursue scientific observations. For this
task he is we'll qualified. His taste for
scientific inquiry is natural, inherited
from his ancestors, and has been the
subject of incessant cultivation.
Adolf Eric Nordensljold was born
at Helsingfors on November IL,
1882. His father was chief of the Fin
land Mining Department. Early in
his life it was observed that the lad
cared more for practical, than theoreti-
cal learning. He was educated at
Borgo and the University of Helsing-
fors. His attention to scientific pur-
suits was the marked feature of his
university career, as it had been of
his earlier life. He spent his
vacations in excursions to the rich
mineral localities OF Finland. At Hell
singfors Nordenskjold was appointed
director of the faculay of mathematics
and physics, an office from which he
was removed in 1856. In 1858 he be-
came mineralogist at Stockholm. His
first experience as explorer was in 1889,
when he accompanied Torell on his ex-
petition. Upon his return he was
nominated director of Riks Museum.
In 1861 he went to Spitzbergen with
Torcll. Three years later no headed the
expedition which successfully completed
the measurement and mapped the
southern part Of Spitzbergen. The
Nordenskiold expedition OF 1858 com
pleted observations which accurately
fixed the position of that land, and at
tanned the latitude of 81 and Az, which
has only twice been exceeded. In
1870 the explorer made scientific tour
of Greenland. Expeditions led by
him in 1872 and 1875 were sue
ceeded by tie most important OF
his enterprises thus for. This was
undertaken in 1878 for the pur-
pose of exploring the NorthPOlar Sea
from the mouth of the Yenesei
east to Behring strait. Nordenskjold
LETT Gothenburg in July, 1873, and
reached Yokohama in September, 1879.
As results OF this brilliant achievement
be announced the opinions that COM
munication by sea for commercial pur'
poses is practicable between Europe
and the Obi-Yenesei also, that the
voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
in the Siberian sea, can be done, but
would be useless to commerce AMI
that further exploration is necessary to
determine whether sea communication
between the Pacific and the mouth OF
the Lena can be established.
In April, 1880, Nordenskjold Was Gre
aied a baron. He has been the recipi-
ent Of distinguished honorsfrom learned
societies in his own and other countries.

The Last Male Representative.
ri oaAo. NInflt

A profound sensation was excited in
Inverness ON w dnesday by the sad
news that The Chisholm had died sud
denly on the previous day at March
Hall, his mothers residence in Midlo
THAN. The sorrow which this event
causes in the Highlands is intensified
by the fact that the late chief of this
powerful clan was the last male repre-
sentative of the ancient and illustrious
family of the Chisholms OF Conan.
The Chisholm was in his twenty-fourth
year, and was known 10 be in delicate
health, but no danger had been antici-
pated. He was greatly beloved by his
tenantry and at an estate dinner which
he gave at Erchless Castle few weeks
ago his health was drunk with an en-
thusiasm rarely witnessed on such oc-
casions in these days. The family et
tates in the counties OF Inverness and
Ross, which extend to nearly 10000
acres. pass to the two sisters of the late

A Observation-Disclosures Wou.

A Buffalo On. Y. special says: About
two months ago persons began drilling
an oil-well at a place called Zoar, in
the town of Collins, this county. A
few days ago it was rumored that they
had struck oil, gas, or something in
immense quantities that the well had
been plugged aAd the derrick boarded !;
that the parties were guarding the well
with shOtguns, and that no one was
allowed near it. Some visitors who went
up there found simply derrick boarded
up, rope strung around it, and the
well guarded by some men. No one
could discover any indications of oil or
gas. The men would say but little,
except that they were down about
1000 feet, and were waiting for further
orders. Possibly they have something
valuable, and possibly it is merely a
sharp dodge to get some one to raise
money to lower the well further. 1t is
understood that all the land in tdat
vicinity has been leased to various par
ties for contemplated oil purposes.

IL he Editor of tie Dispatch:
With each act of respiration, which in
the healthy adult occurs about seven
teen times minute, portion OF air Is
absorbed 10y the blood-yessels of the
lungs. As this absorption affords a
ready method of introducing impurities
and injurious substances into the clrc1-
lation, the importance of pure fresh air
becomes apparent.
Air which hes been breathed into
and expired from the lungs becomes
charged with carbonic-acid gas, and Is
unfit for respiration again until that
ingredient has been removed by the
agency of the vegetable kingdom.
For tins reason all buildings where a
number of persons occupy the same
room for any length of time should be
constructed so as to allow q plentiful
supply of fresh air. This il particu-
larly important in the case OF school,
houses, where the young are confined
for MANY hours in the day, and are
often compelled to incur the double
risk of damp feet and a close, con
taminated atmosphere. The danger
should be averted, not only by a proper
construction of the buildings, but by
opeping tho doors and windows at
every recess, except in very cold
weather. so as to ffeshen and purify
the cir as much as possible.
The necessity of ventilation becomes
more urgent with the rise OF tempera-
ture in warmer weather. In the winter
season its benefits must he frequently
compromised to secure the more I'M
portant benefitof protection from cold;
Besides, the air is more concentrated
at this season of The year, and less oil IL
is required for vital purposes. :.

served on the Portsmouth during the
surveying and exploring cruise from
1871 10 1874, when he was ordered to
examination for master, and received
his commission. In 1870 he was or
dered to the Naval Observatory at
Washington, and put upon signal duty
under Commodore Parker. Lieuten-
ant Donenhower was attached to the
steam alp Vandalia during her cruise
in the Mediterranean in 1878, when
General Grant and his family were on
board 1t was shortly before this that
his friends thought it advisable to con
fine him for about two months in an
Insane asylum.
The deceased was one OF the first Of
ficers who volunteered to so upon the
Jeanette Arctic expedition sent out by
James Gordon Bennett. On July 8.
1879, the Jeanette sailed from San
francisco or a polar expedition by way
of Behring's strait. Lieutenant Danen-
hover was the second officer OF the
steamer, which was commanded by
Lieutenant George ". De Long. 10
Janunry, 1880, the Jeanette was
henmcd i'll by the ice near Wrangell
Land, and for eighteen months drifted
helplessly. On June24 1881. she sank,
crushed by the ice. Lieutenant Danen-
hover and Engineer Melville left her
in a whalehoat. Captain De Long and
others occupied c big cutter, while
seven went with Lieutenant Chip in
a small cutter. On July Goth the
crew made Bennett island, where they
stopped to rest. In September a gale
scattered the boats and Chips party
was never seen nor heard OF afterward.
The story of Lieutenant Danenhower's
search for Captain De Longs party and
the hnGing Of the bodies is well remem-
bered. He arrived in New York May
~, 1889, with Il. l.. Newcomb, Jack
Coles, and Long Sing. On June ID
ensuing he was rendered reception at
the Continental Hotel. Philadelphia, by
Lis friends.
In September, 1884, Danenhower
was assigned to duty at Annapolis as
assistant commander OF cadets. He
held this position at tho time OF his
death. The deceased officer was mar
ricd in New York while on leave of alb
sence. and leaves a widow, daughter
of State-SenatOr Sloan, of New York,
and two children.
He was tall and powerfully built
man, but gentle of speech, courteous in
manner, and fond OF children. The
cadets at the Naval Academy honored
and loved him, and deeply deplore his
loss.

MoREnEAD, KY, Aug 4--Dnring the ex-
animation of witness as to the compli-
city of grand jurymen, Boone Logan was
aspersed by T. I. Young in very harsh
and vindictive manner. Logan took up
the question wholly and in answer To
Youngs's remarks ihathis (Logan'sl char,
acter needed investigation, replied, "As
for you, sir, have undoubted proofs OF
your actions for the last ten years that
would hang yon.n Pistols were drawn by
friends of both sides, and many an oml-
nous click was heard resounding through
the crowded courthouse. The ring OF the
soldier boys rifles was heard all along the
wooden walls of the fimsy building. and
a quick order to load was heard from the
outside. This noise awoke the inmates OF
the court-room to their danger, and they at
once realize that the first move on their
part would result in fierce fire from the
guards. Boone Logan was calm and col
lected. He never fiinchcd, nor did he move
muscle, but reiterated his statement
boldly and clearly This increased the
storm, and many started for the door,
only TO be met by the bayonets
of the guards. For few mo-
ments the utmost Consideration pre-
vailed, but the presence of tho
troops had the effect Of quieting the up
roar. Many threats were uttered on the
outside against Boone Logan, and numer-
Gus predictions made that he would be
killed before the day was over. but he paid
no attention to them whatever. An out
break is expected at any moment. The
soldiers have been ordered to sleep in
their clothes tonight and look carefully
for armed bands. Orders have been issued
to disarm every one who enters the court
| house.
